[Putting two and two together in a flash, much as he would expect from her at this point. But-]
That all depends on when the lot of them come from. [The implication being quite clear: Ardyn's timeline does not match up with theirs.] But I have no reason to keep them in the dark for longer than necessary. [Ha... his own little pun, probably gone underappreciated.]
Prompto has seen my abilities. He knows of my relation to Noctis, even if he doesn't make an effort to question it further.
Mm. He wondered if I was royalty the first time I teleported in front of him.
[Now, at last, the illusion fades; Prompto melts away, replaced once more by Rosalind Lutece, red-headed and just as freckled. The mirth fades away too, as Rosalind stares up neutrally at him.]
[It makes sense, for him to have thought that. Still, Ardyn doesn't even blink as she changes back, though he does think he prefers this sight much more.]
I was hoping to kill neither of them at the time -- Noctis or Prompto.
["At the time."]
Did Prompto tell you what happened after the incident on the train?
No. Just that you-- well. Not pushed him off, apparently, but at least orchestrated the events. He was quite emphatic I ought to be wary around you, you know.
I think I'd be foolish to trust you and to think that you'd never hurt me. I think you'd most certainly harm me if you thought you stood to benefit from it. But nor do I think you'll suddenly snap and kill me, no, and I don't think you've any desire to.
Be careful, now. [He seems to grin at that, too, not so hesitant to hide his ever growing amusement.] A rather dangerous stance to take. But we'll see how much of an advantage it may truly give you, in the end.

[He knows there are questions there, or implied ones at the very least. He doesn't answer them directly, not yet anyway.]

Well, then you're correct. Regarding all of that.
[Reassuring? Not? For her to decide.]

Add it all up, and I might just say I feel comfortable around you.
